Select Medicare Advantage members will receive Cologuard test kit in June

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are working with Exact Sciences, an existing, credentialed colorectal cancer screening provider, to distribute in-home Cologuard^® test kits in June. The kits will go to select Medicare Plus Blue℠ PPO and BCN Advantage℠ members. Health care providers with patients who receive an advance notice letter about the kit should encourage them to take advantage of this convenient, no-cost screening.
